Greg Little

The man was asked by the Cardinals to work out for them in 2017.  He was shocked and ultimately had to decline.

Little was in no shape to try out for a professional football team being out of the game for a couple of years.  He was upset he may have ruined his last chance at the NFL.

He spent a year working out and getting back into football shape.  Then he contacted the Cardinals again and they gave him his shot.

It would have been a nice story had he had a good preseason.  Unfortunately he has not had a good preseason.

Like Nelson, he is having a hard time coming up with balls.  If by some chance it comes down to keeping Nelson or Little, he may be the one looking in from the outside.

He should be commended to even get back this far after being out of the game for a few years now.  However, despite the lack of experience with this group of receivers, his time in Arizona may be coming to an end on Saturday.
